lathanyApparently Heroes is coming back as a thirteen episode stand-alone mini-series called Heroes Reborn in 2015. It'll be with a new cast, although NBC says "but we won’t rule out the possibility of some of the show’s original cast members popping back in".
I was sorry that they cancelled the original back in 2010 (back then, they were also considering a thirteen episode mini-series) but have mixed feelings about this. Thing is, I enjoyed following the original characters and, whilst I liked the concept, I felt that they had done it. There were only so many times I found it interesting to watch someone new discovering powers (and new people with old powers tended to be really dull). Also, by the end I was left with the impression that the creators never really understood why it had been so popular in the first place. Well, I guess this will show whether that was right.
Of course, I'm almost certain to watch it and will be hoping for cameos from the original cast. But I may also be signing up for some very critical write-ups.
